Yes some heat involved,bowl of boiling water in this case,out the water,then VERY quick dry off before it cools then shaped,on the plow I made a stiff paper mock up first as the angles and bends were a pig of a job,using thin strips of masking tape to hold it together as easily cut with a sharp knife,once the "bits" came together and the mock up was offered up until it looked right then I used the paper to use as a templates for the blade and presto like magic it all came together,as i recall(was made some time ago) i used 4 layers of 20thou black laminated plasticard,until the glue sets on the plow blade it remains flexible for final tweeks then strengthened with bar,I used the same construction on my OTTO bash,hope this is a help but your beast already has a blade,I`m assuming maybe another project?
That is awesome. It really looks the part, no wonder the snow melted when you threatened it with that!Well it snowed - maybe an in OKch or less. By the time I got everything ready, the snow had melted.
One possibility is to push the flanger/spreader with U-25s.
